Let’s hear a few words about how saturation use by a minority of fringe activists can pressure dictionary publishers into adding words that a majority of language users don’t use.

That’s how words get into the dictionary most of the time. There are also those definitions crafted or revised based on the influence of powerful actors. Corporate and unelected governmental agents have a great deal of influence as well.

That word is real ❌
That word is “israeled” ✅
Urban dictionary: Israeled
when a person tells you that your property is theirs (when it obviously isn’t), and demands you just give this property to them, and if you refuse, they take it by force and the law will somehow be on the their (israeling) side

Which is ridiculous to some extent, why they’re gonna make literally mean figuratively and why irregardless means the same as fucking REGARDLESS. We should stop appealing to the lowest rungs of society and letting them impact speech in these ways. We’re dumbing down the English language further and making it even more complicated to understand for ESL people.

So why ain’t ain’t a word? Ain’t had a well understood definition. Ain’t its definition good enough? Ain’t no one that ain’t known what is meant when ain’t used in a sentence. So why ain’t ain’t beautiful?
